My fear is that the Trump administration arrested Mahmoud Khalil to make an example out of him because they’re gambling Dems won’t put their jobs and lives on the line to protect a Palestinian.

Why aren't you pro-Hamas? Are you a Nazi?

chris1220.bsky.social•4 days ago

Dems are useless. Follow Bernie.

dburx.bsky.social•4 days ago

I suppose in mitigation one could say they've not done an outcry on any other topic, big or small, either: its a manifestation of the Dem's uselessness.

danancona.bsky.social•4 days ago

One. At least, maybe there are others. It should be 200.

Not even seeing @jayapal.house.gov repeat the post here.

The Democrats have been on board with calling pro-ceasefire demonstrators “pro-Hamas” since day 1

The abandonment and inaction of our elected Democrats truly is shocking. I never would’ve thought it.

There’s no doubt that they’re worried about their safety.

caioalmendra.bsky.social•4 days ago

Remember when we said stuff like "we should curb nazi activism somehow" and free speech absolutists answered "but who decides who is a nazi and who isn't? Liberals call everyone nazis, they will arrest everyone!"

Fun times.

The Democratic establishment is owned by Israel. They aren't going to speak up at all.

pecan7.bsky.social•4 days ago

Republicans were able to orchestrate a party-wide message on masks being an infringement on your rights and we can’t even get 50 Dems to talk about the US Government disappearing student
protestors who they dislike

suzabelle.bsky.social•4 days ago

Nothing says free speech absolutists like deporting dissenters.

Republicans are so blinded by hate that they can't see everything they supposedly hate gets carried out by the party they love.

slendy5127.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not even that. Republicans have never actually opposed any of the things they throw their delusional tantrums about. They just want to be the ones implementing those things

hoagie-pastramo.bsky.social•4 days ago

Maybe they don't care about a bloc that spent most of last year sabotaging their campaigns.

blueeyedhexe.bsky.social•4 days ago

We all know the poem about not speaking out when they come for someone.

That's all going to come to pass during this admin. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills that people aren't understanding this simple and obvious future.

victorha.bsky.social•4 days ago

The Dems are gutless cowards just as much as the GOP. Until there are some Navalny’s surfacing the Dem party is supine.

kelpkelpkelp.bsky.social•4 days ago

Practically speaking Elon Musk and Bari Weiss are the co-rulers of BOTH parties, right now...

Why the Democrats, too?

Who knows.

Arrests of Columbia pro-Palestine activists will not save Israel’s image

The Trump admin’s efforts to conceal the truth about Israel by targeting American universities will backfire.

Calling my NY Senators right now. This is absolutely terrifying. It kept me awake last night. There are multiple protests today in DC and NYC for those who are safe to join.

dcb.bsky.social•4 days ago

The same Democrats who did nothing about an honest to God bloody coup?

The fact the entire leadership hasn't resigned after that, or losing to Trump twice, or fumbling away the Supreme Court tells you all you need to know about their priorities

andreaeagle.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's the eggs, Max. The American people elected Trump to lower egg prices. We shall not be distracted by "human rights". Show us the 2.99 eggs!

Brainwashed by Christofascists Vance/Speaker Johnson/many Supreme Court Justices/others pushing Heritage Foundation's vile "Project Esther" & thus arresting people like Mahmoud Khalil just as terror tactic.

This has the same amount of heft as Susan Collin’s perpetual “concern.” (Notable that when I first read this, I thought it said “monetizing.” He’s probably doing that too, drumming up more AIPAC money he doesn’t need.)

foreverambre.bsky.social•4 days ago

To make sure of the deportation flight? 😬

shamsito.bsky.social•4 days ago

@maxberger.bsky.social notice that we're not talking about revoking the visas of Israeli officials, even though they did more to bolster Hamas than anyone.

Even direct material support.

voltairesrage.bsky.social•4 days ago

You can see the level of corruption I see.
Dems and Republicans get bribes from Israel to do their bidding in Congress.
Dems and Republicans gift Israel billions of our tax dollars.
They buy Universal healthcare for their citizens leaving just enough to bribe the next Congress,

Whether I agree with him or not. He has a green card. He has the right to protest. Only authoritarian governments do shit like this.

semiquaver.bsky.social•4 days ago

And it is not a crime to be "pro-Hamas". As they are on the terrorism list it is a crime to give material support. And given the non-democratic way that entities get on the list that is problematic already... but you should be able to support Hamas non-violently all day without getting deported.

canadasky.bsky.social•4 days ago

He was not supporting Hamas .
He was supporting Palestinians.

Hamas are terrorist so, NO, supporting terrorists should not be permitted as it grows terrorist groups.

mshawkin.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's whoever they say is pro-Palestinian according to little Marco's tweet. He wants to pretend he's a big strong man who has authority he did not earn. So many have had access to historical media that clearly states where this goes. They will never know peace for trying to take others' liberty.

harrytuttle76.bsky.social•4 days ago

An ever increasing number of elected Democrats are on the AIPAC payroll. They are paid good money for their silence

canadasky.bsky.social•4 days ago

They arrested people who were protesting and asking where he's located.
What a fvkng nazi state USA has become.
United ? Bullshit!
